.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device pf"
.Cd "options PF_DEFAULT_TO_DROP"
.Pp
In
.Xr rc.conf 5 :
.Cd pf_enable="YES"
.Pp
In
.Xr loader.conf 5 :

.Cd net.pf.source_nodes_hashsize

.Cd net.pf.request_maxcount
.Cd net.pf.filter_local
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Packet filtering takes place in the kernel.
A pseudo-device,
.Pa /dev/pf ,
allows userland processes to control the
behavior of the packet filter through an
.Xr ioctl 2
interface.
There are commands to enable and disable the filter, load rulesets,
add and remove individual rules or state table entries,
and retrieve statistics.
The most commonly used functions are covered by
.Xr pfctl 8 .
.Pp
Manipulations like loading a ruleset that involve more than a single
.Xr ioctl 2
call require a so-called
.Em ticket ,
which prevents the occurrence of
multiple concurrent manipulations.
.Pp
Fields of
.Xr ioctl 2
parameter structures that refer to packet data (like
addresses and ports) are generally expected in network byte-order.
.Pp
Rules and address tables are contained in so-called
.Em anchors .
When servicing an
.Xr ioctl 2
request, if the anchor field of the argument structure is empty,
the kernel will use the default anchor (i.e., the main ruleset)
in operations.
Anchors are specified by name and may be nested, with components
separated by
.Sq /
characters, similar to how file system hierarchies are laid out.
The final component of the anchor path is the anchor under which
operations will be performed.
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following variables can be entered at the
.Xr loader 8
prompt, set in
.Xr loader.conf 5 ,
.Xr sysctl.conf 5 ,
or changed at runtime with
.Xr sysctl 8 :
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va net.pf.filter_local
This tells
.Nm
to also filter on the loopback output hook.
This is typically used to allow redirect rules to adjust the source address.
.It Va net.pf.request_maxcount
The maximum number of items in a single ioctl call.
.El
.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
The following tunables can be entered at the
.Xr loader 8
prompt, or set in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va net.pf.states_hashsize
Size of hash table that stores states.
Should be power of 2.
Default value is 131072.
.It Va net.pf.source_nodes_hashsize
Size of hash table that stores source nodes.
Should be power of 2.
Default value is 32768.
.It Va net.pf.rule_tag_hashsize
Size of the hash table that stores tags.
.It Va net.pf.udpendpoint_hashsize
Size of hash table that store UDP endpoint mappings.
Should be power of 2.
Default value is 32768.
.It Va net.pf.default_to_drop
This value overrides
.Cd "options PF_DEFAULT_TO_DROP"
from kernel configuration file.
.It Va net.pf.filter_local
This tells
.Nm
to also filter on the loopback output hook.
This is typically used to allow redirect rules to adjust the source address.
.It Va net.pf.request_maxcount
The maximum number of items in a single ioctl call.
.El
.Pp
Read only
.Xr sysctl 8
variables with matching names are provided to obtain current values
at runtime.

.Nm
operation:

Atomically switch a vector of inactive rulesets to the active rulesets.
This call is implemented as a standard two-phase commit, which will either
fail for all rulesets or completely succeed.
All tickets need to be valid.
This ioctl returns
.Er EBUSY
if another process is concurrently updating some of the same rulesets.
.It Dv DIOCXROLLBACK Fa "struct pfioc_trans *io"
Clean up the kernel by undoing all changes that have taken place on the

.Pp
Add a passive OS fingerprint to the table.
Set
.Va fp_os.fp_os
to the packed fingerprint,
.Va fp_os.fp_class_nm
to the name of the class (Linux, Windows, etc),
.Va fp_os.fp_version_nm
to the name of the version (NT, 95, 98), and
.Va fp_os.fp_subtype_nm
to the name of the subtype or patchlevel.
The members
.Va fp_mss ,
.Va fp_wsize ,
.Va fp_psize ,
.Va fp_ttl ,
.Va fp_optcnt ,
and
.Va fp_wscale
are set to the TCP MSS, the TCP window size, the IP length, the IP TTL,
the number of TCP options, and the TCP window scaling constant of the
TCP SYN packet, respectively.
.Pp
The
.Va fp_flags
member is filled according to the
.Aq Pa net/pfvar.h
include file
.Dv PF_OSFP_*
defines.
The
.Va fp_tcpopts
member contains packed TCP options.
Each option uses
.Dv PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_BITS
bits in the packed value.
Options include any of
.Dv PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_NOP ,
.Dv PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_SACK ,
.Dv PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_WSCALE ,
.Dv PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_MSS ,
or
.Dv PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_TS .
.Pp
The
.Va fp_getnum
member is not used with this ioctl.
.Pp
The structure's slack space must be zeroed for correct operation;
.Xr memset 3
the whole structure to zero before filling and sending to the kernel.
.It Dv DIOCOSFPGET Fa "struct pf_osfp_ioctl *io"
Get the passive OS fingerprint number
.Va fp_getnum
from the kernel's fingerprint list.
The rest of the structure members will come back filled.
Get the whole list by repeatedly incrementing the
.Va fp_getnum
number until the ioctl returns
.Er EBUSY .

#define psn_buf		psn_u.psu_buf
#define psn_src_nodes	psn_u.psu_src_nodes
};
.Ed
.Pp
Get the list of source nodes kept by sticky addresses and source
tracking.
The ioctl must be called once with
.Va psn_len
set to 0.
If the ioctl returns without error,
.Va psn_len
will be set to the size of the buffer required to hold all the
.Va pf_src_node
structures held in the table.
A buffer of this size should then be allocated, and a pointer to this buffer
placed in
.Va psn_buf .
The ioctl must then be called again to fill this buffer with the actual
source node data.
After that call,
.Va psn_len
will be set to the length of the buffer actually used.
.It Dv DIOCCLRSRCNODES
Clear the tree of source tracking nodes.
.It Dv DIOCIGETIFACES Fa "struct pfioc_iface *io"
Get the list of interfaces and interface groups known to
.Nm .
All the ioctls that manipulate interfaces
use the same structure described below:
.Bd -literal
struct pfioc_iface {
	char			 pfiio_name[IFNAMSIZ];
	void			*pfiio_buffer;
	int			 pfiio_esize;
	int			 pfiio_size;
	int			 pfiio_nzero;
	int			 pfiio_flags;
};
.Ed
.Pp
If not empty,
.Va pfiio_name
can be used to restrict the search to a specific interface or group.
.Va pfiio_buffer[pfiio_size]
is the user-supplied buffer for returning the data.
On entry,
.Va pfiio_size
contains the number of
.Vt pfi_kif
entries that can fit into the buffer.
The kernel will replace this value by the real number of entries it wants
to return.
.Va pfiio_esize
should be set to
.Li sizeof(struct pfi_kif) .
.Pp
The data is returned in the
.Vt pfi_kif
structure described below:
.Bd -literal
struct pfi_kif {
	char				 pfik_name[IFNAMSIZ];
	union {
		RB_ENTRY(pfi_kif)	 pfik_tree;
		LIST_ENTRY(pfi_kif)	 pfik_list;

};
.Ed
.It Dv DIOCSETIFFLAG Fa "struct pfioc_iface *io"
Set the user settable flags (described above) of the
.Nm
internal interface description.
The filtering process is the same as for
.Dv DIOCIGETIFACES .
.Bd -literal
#define PFI_IFLAG_SKIP	0x0100	/* skip filtering on interface */
.Ed
.It Dv DIOCCLRIFFLAG Fa "struct pfioc_iface *io"

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
packet filtering mechanism first appeared in
.Ox 3.0
and then
.Fx 5.2 .
.Pp
This implementation is derived from
.Ox 4.5 .
A number of individual features, improvements, bug fixes and security fixes
have been ported from later versions of
.Ox .
It has been heavily modified to be capable of running in multithreaded
.Fx
kernel and scale its performance on multiple CPUs.
